From their thrash and death beginnings to their ascension to the pantheon of black metal greats, Darkthrone has always refused to stand still. They continue to embrace and explore their roots and capture the real spirit of sonic greatness on Circle the Wagons.

Darkthrone's drummer/vocalist, Fenriz, can also be seen in the black metal documentary, "Until the Light Takes Us", a film that takes viewers behind the scenes of the complex and largely misunderstood black metal movement that swept across Europe in the mid-nineties. "Until the Light Takes Us" is currently showing in independent theaters across North America and Europe. For more information head to www.blackmetalmovie.com.
